my chair

since becoming a mom to baby g

my most treasured gift is my chair

my sweet mom found me the most comfortable glider out there

as well as fabric to match the nursery.

it's now my favorite place in the house :)

La Jolla Groves

ryno switched restaurants about the time baby g was born.

his second home has become...

which is great for me because i love their food.

try their sliced beef tenderloin...

so good.

located in riverwoods across the street from shoots.

{i could seriously eat him he's so cute}

thank you to all who came to graham's blessing. we truly have such an amazing, supportive family. both ryne and i could not believe how many were there to see us. graham is definitely a loved little boy, and we feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.  we love you all!

father's day

ryne celebrated his first "real" father's day yesterday

{dad, baby g, uncle john, po & ryno}

 i'm so grateful for all these guys. my sweet hubby has been wonderful these past few weeks while baby g has sucked all the energy out of me. even with a new baby, new calling, and new job all within a week, he has been my all-around superhero, and he can change diapers like a champ.  who knew!?

while we all ate, graham....

hung out with grandpa

and slept

{so typical of our little burrito}

my happy little boy

i apologize if this blog is becoming all about baby g.

but i just can't help it....

i love my little guy way too much

hope this makes you smile

our little sleeper

our little graham loves to sleep

i love the men in my life :)

baby g has arrived...

our little {big} graham arrived this morning. 

 weighing at 8 pounds, 6 ounces

he is the cutest peanut i've ever seen....

 

{right after ryne's first diaper change}

baby g slept through the whole thing....

more pics soon!

celtic woman

we all went to celtic woman last night

i didn't have high expectations...

but i would see them again in a heartbeat

mother's day

for our mother's day

we gotta talk to this handsome fella..

i do sure miss him.

{chase and i...summer '95}

tulie bakery

ryne and i had some time to kill in salt lake

and decided to stop by tulie bakery

boy am i glad we went on an empty stomach...

{this could totally feed a family of 4}

instead i scarfed it for breakfast

and enjoyed every minute of it.

tulie bakery: 863 East 700 South, Salt Lake City

and if you do go... please pick me up a package of shortbread.

i'll love you forever...

amazon says i do... :)
